Because I'm bad about selling things, once I own them. Also stuff like wanting to try to hear the difference of a pad swap before I sell one, but by the time I get home from work I don't feel like mucking around and just want to jump straight into playing a game.

How's your PC build coming? And the FiiO device petition?

Hmm. OK then.

FiiO has taken notice of the petition (Yay!) and hopefully once the clear their plate from their current work (working on some DAPs and updating some DACs) they will take a more serious look at it.

It went together nicely, and so far the few games I've tried have been buttery smooth at max settings. Since I'm coming from consoles, I'm not used to seeing 1080p resolution or 60+ fps. It's quite nice

And I can't tell you how much nicer it is to do photoshop & video editing on it compared to my old laptop. Soooooooooooooooooo much faster

Hey guys, I'm back! There have been like 25 new pages since last time (and, I see, a new MLE review! Nice one Mad, tho FYI being "adamant" about something is to stick to your guns about something... I'm often adamant, despite my name, lol).

Anything I miss, or need to respond to? Btw, the SB Z must be mailed back soon, so I'll be forced to set up the Omni. Lol. Work has finally begun slowing down.

I saw your reply on the Z/Zx/ZxR thread to me on the Omni. Still waiting for you to test it out before I sell off my SBZ and get the Omni as well. Take your time though.

On a side note, sucks that the TurtleBeach i60's transmitter only works with the headset itself. Otherwise I'd be willing to try DTS HeadphoneX as a guinea pig.

So far, I've edited the DNA Pro, Alpha Dog, SRH1840 reviews to reflect my more recent layout changes. Mainly, underlining sections, adding spoiler tags for the last sections (less main page clutter), as well as removing section scores and changing it to a one word description on how good/bad it is. I feel people pay way too much attention to the minute differences in score, so to keep people from obsessing over a .25 difference, I'll just say how good or bad an aspect of a headphone is. Scores will remain for the final scoring, that's it. I will TRY and update some of the older entries to reflect this, but don't expect a full guide overhaul.

Great idea, however just looking at the guide you may want to make it clear on all your word descriptions. For example is Fantastic better than amazing or is fantastic a step below amazing?

Just a simple scale at the top would probably clear all this up for example:

Horrible->Bad->Ok->Good->Very Good->Fantastic->Amazing

The scale may be obvious to most, but generally my thought is always make it clear as possible. I do not know if you are trying to avoid this as it slightly mimics a regular scoring scheme. However I still think it gets the same points you are trying get across without people focusing on numbers as much.

Indeed, I've taken 1920x1080 60 FPS to be the norm to the point where it's actually a rude awakening when I see a console version of a game in action and notice it struggling to keep above 30 FPS on sub-720p resolutions. Left 4 Dead 2 on X360 springs to mind...

At that rate, why settle for anything less than the SR-009?

Head-Fi definitely is not the place to be talked OUT OF buying things, at any rate! My wallet's hated me for it ever since...
